Camouflage Color Block

 One of the season's trend is military camouflage print. I'm really excited about it because I've seen some cool ways to wear it. Of course, I made a version of my own for the fellas with a color block pocket. The material is a super soft, smooth, light weight knit and the fit is slightly loose as you can see on my lovely hunk of a model. I know some or most have negative thoughts in wearing camo print but fear not. For those who aren't as fashion forward but want to enjoy this print can do so with something subtle like a bow tie or a pocket piece in this masculine trend. If you want to sport a garment such as a jacket, shirt or pant, I like the way you think! As long as it's done tastefully on cuts that are modern and worn confidently like you don't give a Tyrannosaurus Rex, you will rock this look like it should be rocked!

Mr. Updated Plaid

Hi All! I know I have neglected my blogging duties for too long and I am sorry for that. I plan on making it up to you by consistently posting fun stuff for your fashion pleasure from now on.

With that being said, let me present to you my first topic upon my return to the blog world. Mr. Updated Plaid. Pu or polyurethane has a been a hot trend in women's fashion for a while now but I haven't seen menswear really take part in it. So I thought of how to incorporate it into menswear in a way that isn't tacky but instead very fresh and stylish. My idea however involved a button down shirt style which I've never reattempted to do after once failing horribly in trying to construct a women's button down shirt back in school. There was just sooo many pattern pieces to cut and sew together this idea became intimidating to me. But my excitement for my idea was stronger than my fear so here is the end result! Black faux leather on the shoulder epaulet, front/back yokes, pockets, and sleeve slit! You like?
